Turn around! Face the other way!
The final collapse of Arecibo should teach us a lesson, but won't.
This year I've been trying to focus my "creative" energy, such as it is, toward BEACONS. The meta-beacon is Trinity House, a uniquely stable and permanent organization that maintained its original PURPOSE for 500 years.
New thought:
Most of the places I've featured have been preserved as museums or historical sites. They are no longer used by "science", THEREFORE the real instruments have been maintained in working condition. Unlike Arecibo.
Astronomy used to have a PURPOSE when it helped us to calibrate our watches and our souls by stable permanent stars. Recently astronomy turned backwards, facing toward insane nonsensical delusions like multiverses and dark matter and Gaia. NASA has been propagating those delusions and burning heretics who dare to oppose those delusions. NASA hasn't bothered to maintain its SKILLS, letting non-offshored Russia do most of the satellite launches and letting non-offshored China build the satellites. It hasn't bothered to maintain its INSTRUMENTS, letting Arecibo decay and break.
Physics did the same. Formerly physics calibrated our machines to permanent laws like Newton and Ohm. Now it's just a bizarre babble of schizy delusions.
Before 2020, medicine was the most stable and permanent of all sciences. New treatments were not accepted until they had been tested with a clinical trial. Groups of patients were assigned to receive the new treatment vs the old treatment or placebo. The new was only accepted if it HELPED MORE AND HURT LESS than the old or placebo.
This year we've conducted the biggest clinical trial in history, subjecting 90% of the world to lockdowns and muzzles as a "treatment" for an ordinary flu virus, if indeed there is any "virus" at all. Before 2020, lockdowns were only a weapon of war, the state of siege, and they had been tested clinically by armies who wanted to kill everyone. Before 2020, muzzles were used in the operating room but nowhere else, because stable medicine had determined by experience that they were more harmful than helpful elsewhere. Now we're running the trial, and FROM THE FUCKING START the trial has shown what you'd expect. A state of siege kills everyone, and muzzles are more harmful than helpful. The few countries and states that stayed with the old rules of public health have been obviously and constantly better off.
Before 2020, a clinical trial that started to kill people would have been INSTANTLY HALTED. Now it's continued forever because the PURPOSE OF MEDICINE IS TO KILL EVERYONE.
Organized "science" is ferociously devoted to OBLITERATING stability and permanence along with life and the entire universe. "Science" and technology are solely devoted to Github aka Room 101, forcing everyone to switch their thoughts and skills constantly. The "rules" of "medicine" change every two weeks.
= = = = =
We're lucky that those old observatories and lighthouses were maintained by foundations or estate trusts with a dedicated core of volunteers. If they had remained in the hands of "science", they would have been torn down or collapsed or used for mass murder, and the skills would have been lost.
Unfortunately nobody has maintained REAL SCIENCE or REAL MEDICINE or PRE-GITHUB TECHNOLOGY as a museum. There are scattered clusters of independent researchers and hobbyists, but no organized foundation or Mutual Assurance Society.
It's time to start, with a new variant on Trinity House.
Carver as always:
LOOK about you.
Take HOLD of the THINGS that are HERE.
Talk to them.
Let them talk to you.
